Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a duty-to-assist error in failing to obtain a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) opinion.
The deciding factor: The evidence was sufficient to have found that the Veteran participated in TERA during service, and VA has a duty to obtain a medical opinion as to whether the disability is connected to the TERA.
